QuestionDescribes a specific constituent case — a 14-year-old groomed on Instagram and trafficked across state lines — whose only legal recourse against Instagram is binding arbitration, and asks whether children harmed this severely should have another avenue for redress.

ResponseMosseri calls the story terrifying but never answers whether trafficking victims should be exempt from mandatory arbitration, redirecting to a general call for federal regulation each time Cantwell asks directly.
